the investigation. working in conjunction with the sheriffs department. live from guerneville i'm tara moriarty ktvu channel 2 news. time is 6:03. we have developing news from lafayette. just hours ago a police chase ended in a crash that knocked down a power pole. ktvu claudine wong has been on this since 4:30. she is live at the scene to tell us about a dangerous situation that pg&e crews are trying to fix. what happened? >> reporter: pg&e crews say when the car crashed it sheered off the bottom of the power pole knocking it down. it was holding up pretty big wires. they just left the scene. they will get a new power pole but they have a lot of work in front of them. take a look at the police car that is closest to us. because that is the closest they will let us stand at this point. the officer said that's where they established was the safe area. after that you've got power lines in the road and they don't want anyone going past there. if you take a lockfaster that is where the crash happened.

the vehicle involved is still there. there are pg&e crews up there. but again they just left to get the power pole which is in concord and then they have to come back. the work and a lot of it will get under way. this all started at 2:30 this morning. the driver was going the wrong way through the caldecott tunnel. a pursuit insued. the vehicle got off of the freeway. the highway 24 or highway 24 and then went up on to upper happy valley road. we're in the 4,000 block of happy valley road. that is where we have been since the crash happened. and it looks like again it will be a few hours before we get this situation fixed. in terms of power outages, only about 10 people right now without power. this isn't a big effect on customers in that sense. but we just talked to a newspaper delivery guy who says you know he can't get through. there is only one way in and out of this area unless you go all the way around orinda and

gunman jeremy goulet's home on tuesday. he shot them after the officers interviewed him through the door for about ten minutes. it happened so fast there was no time for them to call for help. detectives haven't said how many bullets goulet fired but one of them ended up striking a woman on nearby stanford avenue. grazing her in the leg. she was shaken up but her injuries were not serious. when officers tracked down goulet he was holding guns in both hands and opened fire. they shot back and killed him. investigators say goulet had a passport and plane ticket to new mexico on him. the police chief says the traumatic events on the day is weighing heavily on officers and asked people yesterday to show support when they see the officers today. >> when you see our officers out patrolling our streets tomorrow, please provide them with all of the love and support you can. it's been a tough two days here at the police department. we've president a rough week ahead of us. we look forward to getting them back on the streets.

different bills yesterday so what does this mean now? a deal is not expected to come out of this morning's meeting at the white house. so president obama will have no choice but to sign an executive order saying sequestration takes effect at midnight tonight. the $85 billion worth of cuts will be spread out over the next six months and republicans say democrats have blown these cuts out of proportion. that is because congress has to turn in a budget by march 27th and it's very possible their new spending plan will be able to reverse most of the sweeping automatic cuts before they even take full effect. the president's meeting with the top four congressional leaders will be under way when i see you next. live in washington kyla campbell ktvu channel 2 news. time now 6:18. later this morning the ncaa will tell us about their investigation of the st. mary's basketball program. the ncaa has been investigating how the cool recruits players from australia. there is no word on whether any violations have been found.
